    Car offered at:
    www.interesting-cars.com/120otsrhdproject.html

    Sellers description:
    An early studless cam cover genuine RHD matching numbers XK 120 OTS for restoration. This extraordinary XK has been in the same family for 45 years and restoration was started many years ago by its now deceased owner. All original panels have been used so far in the restoration process although a complete new back end is included but may not be needed. The car is loosely assembled with engine gearbox and back axle in place. It is in excellent structural condition and represents a wonderful opportunity to complete an easy restoration. £22750

    It can be viewed by appointment in North Cornwall

    To paraphrase Animal Farn, all restored XKs are beautiful, but some are more beautiful than others. And this is one of the best of all.

    this car was an interesting resto project, and it was found by me for sale in south UK. Then I organized the restoration and the choosing of correct color ( it was painted originally in Ireland ). The owner did a wonderful job finding the complete story of this rare car, a CKD example.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
